re: practicing elsewhere... you can't practice low-level aerial maneuvers intended for one specific locale in another locale. Do you have ANY idea what those guys are doing as they practice? They literally stopwatch each pass and identify landmarks so they know when/where to bank, climb, etc...

Before you assume they're just out joyriding, have a look at what preparing one of these shows entails.
